INTRODUCTION:
CPR - C Perl Run
A Perl interpreter 'embedded' in your C?
A C interpreter using Perl?
A new API for the Perl5 internals?
Welcome to the wacky world of CPR!
To take a test drive, just put a CPR hashbang at the top of your C program
and run it like a Perl script.
Here is an example:
#!/usr/bin/cpr
/* hello.cpr - Just say "Hello" */
int main(void) {
printf("Hello, world\n");
return 0;
}
Or (if your chitty hashbang is out for repairs) just run:
cpr hello.cpr
After a few seconds, your CPR program will greet the Earth in the standard
fashion. Run it again for a faster response.

FEATURES:
Inline::CPR version 0.12 is a minor release:
+ Made compatible with Inline 0.41
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION:
This module requires Inline.pm version 0.30 or higher, and the appropriate
C compiler. (Where appropriate means the one referred to in your Config.pm)
To install Inline::CPR do this:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
(On ActivePerl for MSWin32, use nmake instead of make.)
This will not only install Inline::CPR, but will also install a binary
program: 'cpr'. This is the CPR interpreter. Inline::CPR is just a support
module for the CPR interpreter. (You don't actually use it directly.)
The installation process will also generate a sample CPR program:
./examples/synopsis.cpr
You have to 'make install' before you can run it successfully.
